CHAPTER 6

"The Birth Of 2, One Net-op And One Net-navi"

Soon the sound of the baby crying could be heard and the doctor wrapped the baby in a blanket and put it in Maylu's arms.

"Aw, guys." Megaman whispered in awe.

Lan smiled. The nurses took the baby for a second to clean it up and brought it back gave it back to Maylu. Maylu let Lan hold the baby.

"Why don't you introduce her to her grandparents?" Maylu said gesturing towards his parent.

Lan nodded holding the baby in his arms and walked outside to where his parents were.

"Lan?" Mrs. Hikari asked.

Lan smiled at her.

"Meet your grand-daughter." Lan said.

"She adorable, looks just like you." Dr. Hikari said.

Lan smiled at his parent.

"Do either of you want to hold her?" Lan asked.

"Let me hold this little angel." Mrs. Hikari said.

Lan let his mom hold her.

"How's Maylu doing, son?" Dr. Hikari asked while he gazed at the baby.

"She's a little tired. But, other then that she's fine." Lan said.

"That's to be expected" Dr. Hikari said.

Lan nodded.

"Yeah, I know." Lan said.

"Think she'll be up for visitors?" Mrs. Hikari asked, handing the baby back to her father.

"I think so." Lan said.

"She's so cute!" Megaman told Roll.

"I know." Roll said smiling at Megaman.

"Reminds me of pictures of Lan as a baby." Megaman told her grinningly.

Roll frowned.

"It makes me wish..." Roll start crying.

"Roll, honey...what's wrong?" Megaman asked concerned about his wife's actions.

"It's just this sort of thing makes me wish we could..." Roll continued to cry.

"Aw, Roll." Megaman said trying to reassure her.

Lan couldn't help but over hear. His daughter was asleep in his arms.

"Uh, dad, can I ask you something?" Lan asked.

"Yes, son." Dr. Hikari said.

"Well, I was wondering if there was any way for navis to have a child." Lan asked.

"Hmm, I'm not sure; it's possible, why do you ask?" Dr. Hikari asked his son.

"Well I over heard Roll. She was crying. What about using a little bit of each of their data?" Lan asked.

"She wants to have a child? I guess we can try it. But let's get their say-so first." Dr. Hikari said.

"Can you get Megaman's PET? My hands are kinda full." Lan said.

"Sure." Dr. Hikari chuckled, reaching for the asked-for PET.

"Uh, Megaman? I couldn't help but, hear...and we may have an idea." Lan said looking at the two navis.

"What's going on, Lan?" Megaman asked confused.

"We have an idea about how you too could have a child." Lan said. Roll looked at Lan.

"Really?" She asked excited.

"That's right...you two up for it?" Dr. Hikari asked.

"Megaman?" Roll asked.

"I'm for it, if you are." Megaman reassured her.

"Let's do it." Roll said.

"Great, let's get started." Dr. Hikari told them.

Lan smiled at his dad.

"I trust you dad. Just take care of them. I'll be there as soon as I can." Lan said still smiling.

"Alright son, I'll get everything set up." Dr. Hikari said.

Lan carefully laid the baby down in a crib in Maylu's room.

"I'll be back soon, Maylu." Lan said kissing her.

"Alright, sweetheart...we'll be fine." she assured him while looking at the sleeping baby.

"And I'm taking Roll with me." Lan said smiling at Maylu.

Maylu nodded. Lan nodded and ran out both navis in Megaman's PET.

'I hope this works.' Megaman thought to himself.

Soon Lan arrived at Scilabs and where his father was.

"We're here." Lan said.

"Ready you two?" Dr. Hikari asked the navis.

Lan smiled reassureingly at them.

"I am." Roll said.

"Let's begin" he said.

Lan hand him the PET.

"Don't worry son, I'll send word." Dr. Hikari said as he went into the lab.

Lan nodded and went back to Maylu.

"Hi Lan." Maylu said quietly as he came in.

"Hi, Maylu." Lan said walking over and sitting on the edge of her bed.

"You think this'll work out for them?" Maylu asked.

"It should. I trust in my dad." Lan said smiling at her.

"I do too, they're our best friends and they deserved a chance at a family like anyone else." Maylu said gently.

"Dad said that he'd send word." Lan said.

Maylu smiled and nodded to her husband.

"I hope for them that it works." Lan said.

"Me too, Lan...me too." Maylu said softly.

A FEW HOURS LATER

Lan was starting to get worried.

"Lan, take it easy, they'll be fine." Maylu reassured.

"We should have heard something by now." Lan said.

"I know." Maylu said.

"I hope we hear something soon." Lan said.

'I hope too' Maylu thought.

One of Dr. Hikari's co-workers ran in.

"I found you Lan." He said.

"What happened?" Maylu asked.

"Dr. Hikari told me to tell you that it worked whatever that means." The co-worker said and walked out.

The net-ops grinned at each other as Lan headed back. Lan ran into the room his dad was.

"You sure came fast." Dr. Hikari said.

Lan smiled.

"Yeah, I know." Lan said.

"Do you wanna see them?" Dr. Hikari asked.

Lan nodded.

"This way." Dr. Hikari said as he led his son to the lab.

Lan followed him.

"Megaman, Roll you have a visitor" Dr. Hikari said as they entered.

"Hey, guys." Lan said smiling at his partner and Roll.

"Hey, Lan." Megaman said.

Lan gives Megaman a smile he recognized.

"So, Lan you wanna see her?" Megaman asked.

Lan pulled out the emersion glass and put them on pulling out his PET. Soon a navi we know by know appeared in front of Megaman. The navi looked like Megaman but, in red and black instead.

"Her name's Talla." Roll said coming towards her husband and his friend

"Aw." Marriorman said as he mask came off again.

"C'mere you." Megaman said as he took the newborn navi from her mother and held her.

Marriorman smiled.

"She's adorable, bro." Marriorman said.

"Thanks, we thought it'd be nice she was teamed up with Kat, when they were a little older or something." Megaman said.

"I agree." Marriorman said nodding.

"I mean it's only fair and I think it'd be kinda cute to watch a net-op and net-navi grow up together, don't you?" Megaman asked his brother.

Marriorman nodded.

"That and the family would stay together." Marriorman said.

"Our thoughts exactly." Megaman replied.

"When they're old enough." Marriorman said smiling at his brother.

Megaman nodded in agreement. Marriorman smiled at his niece.

"You might wanna tell Maylu." Megaman said.

"I will, bro." Marriorman said.

"Hey Lan, thanks...for everything." Megaman said softly.

"You desearve it, bro." Marriorman said.

"You'd better go and tell Maylu, she's probably wondering what happened." Megaman said.

Marriorman nodded.

"Marriorman logging out."

Megaman just smiled at his wife with their daughter in his arms,

"Maylu, will probably want to see her." Lan said.

"I know, we'll go soon as your dad says it's alright." Megaman said.

Lan nodded.

"I'll see you guys soon." Lan said running out.

"Bye!" Megaman and Roll called.

Lan smiled at his dad on his way out.

"So, Lan, how did you like your visit?" Dr. Hikari asked.


"Well, Marriorman and Megaman had a little talk." Lan said looking at his dad.

"Oh?" Dr. Hikari prompted.

"It was about Talla and Kat." Lan said.

"Talla?" Dr. Hikari asked.

"That's what Megaman and Roll's daughters name is." Lan said.

"I see, what about them?" Dr. Hikari asked.

"When they get old enough they're gonna be teamed up." Lan said.

"Seems reasonable enough." Dr. Hikari said.

"It was my bro's idea." Lan said.

"I understand, Lan. I really do." Dr. Hikari said

Lan slapped his head.

"I mean Megaman's idea." Lan said.

"I think I've jacked in one to many time." Lan mumbled rubbing his forehead.

"I knew what you meant, son." Dr. Hikari said chuckling at his son.

"Sometimes I worry about what kind of side effects these things can have." Lan said holding up the emersion glasses.

"I know, you could use a lab here next time." Dr. Hikari suggested.

"I should test these things before I use them again." Lan said.

"It'd be best son." Dr. Hikari said gently.

"Here." Lan said handing them to his dad.

"I'll be right back." He said.

"Okay." Dr. Hikari said.

Lan nodded and ran out. Dr. Hikari sighed and walked into his lab putting the emersion glass down and it was hard for Megaman and Roll not to have noticed.

"Honey aren't those the glasses Lan uses to come here?" Roll asked.

"Yeah." Megaman said.

"That's weird usually he doesn't go anywhere without them." Roll said.

"His dad wanted to look them over to be on the safe side after what happened before." Megaman said.


"That was years ago though...but, it's better safe then sorry." Roll said.

Megama nodded.

MEANWHILE

Lan ran into Maylu's room.

"You're back! What happened?" Maylu asked as she saw her husband.

"They have a little girl." Lan said with a smile.

"Really! What's her name!" Maylu asked excitedly.

"Talla." Lan said.

"That's a beautiful name." Maylu said.

"Yeah. And she's adorable." Lan said sitting on the edge of the bed.

"You saw her?" Maylu asked.

"Marriorman saw her." Lan said.

"And my brother...I mean Megaman was so cute with her." He said.

"I'll bet he was." Maylu beamed.

"Yeah, Maylu, you didn't know this but, I've been using the emersion glasses without ever testing them." Lan said frowning slightly at his wife.

"What!" Maylu demanded.

"You heard me." Lan said looking away from Maylu.

"But, why did you wait until now to test them?" Maylu asked.

"I know it was stupid. And I don't know why I waited." Lan said.

"Oh Lan..." Maylu said looking at the sleeping baby in the crib.

"Me and dad are gonna test them now." Lan said looking at the baby as well.

"Good." Maylu said.

"I'll be back." Lan said and ran out.

"Where are you going?" Maylu called after him.

"Scilabs." Lan said.

"You gonna get Megaman and Roll?" Maylu asked.

"I'm gonna test the emersion glasses with dad and then I'll bring back Megaman and Roll." Lan said.

"Alright, be careful." Maylu said.

"I will." Lan said.

Soon Lan ran back into Scilabs one of Dr. Hikari's co-workers gave Lan one of his dad's extra lab coats and Lan ran into his dad's lab.

"Hi Lan." Dr. Hikari said.

"Hi, dad." Lan said walking over to his dad.

"Ready?" Dr. Hikari asked.

"Yep." Lan said.

Lan went right and his father watched him for a little while.

'Well, here we go.' Dr. Hikari thought.

"Let's started these tests. Let's see there's a slight shift in the cerebral cortex near as I can figure it dissipates as soon as I jack out." Lan said as he started the test while his dad watched.

"Hmm, interesting." Dr. Hikari said.

"Precisely." Lan said glancing at his dad.

"Uh, Megaman is it me or did Lan's langue change suddenly?" Roll asked.

"You're right, sweetie." Megaman said.

"Let us continue with these tests I believe we maybe on the verge of a breakthrough." Lan said as he continued to work.

"Are you going to assist me with these tests or not, dad?" He asked.

'Whoa, he's really changed.' Megaman thought as he watched his brother work.

"This PHD certainly isn't helping me figure this out." Lan mumbled.

"Take it easy, Lan. We'll figure this out. Don't worry." Dr. Hikari assured.

"Uh, dad. I have something to tell you..." Lan said.

"Yes son?" Dr. Hikari said.

"I earned a PHD in science a while back." Lan said.

"But, that hasn't helped me find a job." He mumbled.
